A brave levator boy want pp and down until he got a large number of men down from tha upper stories and almost all the rent were saved by the Are escape outside the building. Up In the sixth story waa a ditpatcber for the Associatsd Pries. He wu urged It eaoape but be refiaed. He sat telegraphing to all parte of the coun try that the building was on Ire. A typical newspaper man, he wanted to do imethiog sensational. "I am in the Tribune building," he telegraphed "in the aiith story, and the building is on Sre. The fire has now reached the first atory ; I am in the sixth. In a little while be aent another meaaage: The fire has now reached the second story I am in the sixth. In little bile he sent another message : "The fire baa now reached the third story." Soon be telegraphed, the fire has reached the fourth srbry, I am in the sixth." Soon again the message went over the wires, "The fire has now reached the fifth story; I am in the sixth." Then be thought it was about lime to leave ; but he had to cross a ballwsy to reaoh the fire escape. He opened the door and, to hie dismay, found that the .fire had not only reached the fifth story, but the sixth story, and that the hallway waa full of smoke sod fame. He shot the door quickly. What was he to do ? The stairway, the elevator, the fire escape ere all cat off ; but be was a brave man, and he went to the window and threw it Down below stood a great crowd, aix stories down. There was no mesne of eatohing him if he jumped. Presently looked up. Above his head was a long wire guy rope that passed from the Tribune building to the roof a building ipposite. Below him waa a chasm six stories deep, but be caught hold of the Kuy rope and beean to go hand over hand across the chasm The people be - low looked on in breathless suspense, At last he stopped, bis strength was gone, and down be came tumbling through thoae aix stories of spaoe, crush into a shapeless mass below.

But oo the other hand how be it ? We have seen men low as it is possible for them to fall , We have seen the wife lift the husband from the gutter and press him to her heart while tears triokled down her cheeks in profusion. We have seen the wife follow the husband through life in one constant whirl of misery and misfor tune and when at last at the gate of hell tbey are separated, she would stand and wring her hands in anguish became the curtain had fallen between them and she could go no further. We have seen the mother follow tbe son through paths of crime, shame aod degredition, through which a man was never known to follow a woman. Yet who ia to blame for the downfall of woman ? Who?

"My mother'd love me a whole lot, too, if she wasn't too busy," loyally de- I elared a small maiden, who -bad hungrily a 1 watched the home-leave taking of little companion as they set eff lor school, "She has pretty much housework to do." The "muoh housework" and other work seem to take precedence of love in many households where the members would be shocked if they fully rea!itd the fact. Love their own? Of course they do; and all the toil is for the sake of these beloved ones, they say and really believe. And yet the work haa become fetish not something for the family oomfort, but something before which sll slse must give wsy, to which everything else must be sacrificed Washing, iron log, sweeping, dusting, must take their appointed course and be finished acocrd ing to the appointed time, whatever becomes of life's higher needs. There is so elasticity In the system, no tinie fui tenderness or sympathy; for the hour's talk that miht clear away doubt and misgiving ; for comforting sore hearts or binding np wounded spirits. There are usually notable housekeepers in such households women of whom neighbors speak admiringly and recount the won ders tbey accomplish but there is seldom any deep homospirit. Work counts for everything until tome dreary day when the inevitable shsdow falls across th threshold, tnd all things ohange values, The taaks that seemed to important only yesterday what do tbey matter ?

STANTON TWO HONEST MEN. ALL IS NOT GOLD THAT OLITTERS. To heir the sveragd man talk one led to believe he is not sfrsid of any thing. He makes all manner of fun of his wife if she intimates that she is afraid 10 remain alone at home at night. or even till 10 or 11 o'clock ; he shames her and laughs at her. But all is not gold tbst glitters. Last night two well known gentlemen, whose wives are out of town, were swapping yarns about beiog alone, Some one came in and said a storm wss coming up. 'Hope it wont, ssid one; "I'm fraid of storms snd when my "if. away I am wor?e. Truth is I am soared at night any way when I am alone and every little noise makes me jump. When Btarted up town to-night I saw Ihst every door was securely looked aod every window fastened down ; then I lighted the hall lamp and left it burning. When go back I'll look under every bed be fore I lay me down, but I wouldn't have my wife know this for fifty dollars." The Iriend lo whom he was talking umped up and said, "Flesh to flesh that's my fix exactly; when my wife away I hear lots of queer noises and mouse will shake the whole house as he canters around. I take no chances leave tbe light in my room burning a! nignt wncm 1 am alone, but like you, I wouldn't have my wife know it for big money. She never would quit gnying me." One of these gentlemen travels all over the ooontry, while the other h been in hundreds of situations requiring the greatest courage and bravery, yet tbey told the truth about being afraid when at borne alone. What it more, it is a rare thing that either geta at home at night before 10 o'olock. They have business up s'reet every oight, Greens boro Record. HUGE TASK. It was a huge task, to undertake the cure of snob a bad oase of kidney dis ease, as that of C. F. Collier, of Chero kee, Ia , but Electrio Bitters did it. He writes: "My kidneys were so far gone.

CHRIST EXALTED WOMANHOOD BY IXALTINO WOMANHOOD. Th story is told of a young soldier in the late war with Spain. Immediately Iter his enlistment he was ordered to the front, lie was among the first to oard the transports and to disembark in uba. Allamo with the firus of patri otism ho served enthusiastically and with great courage. Knally the great strain of intense service in the poisonous marshes tinder the hoi, tropical sun, broke bim down and he was stricken with fever, In the hospital a' I the reams and delusions of his disordered brain were of childhood's days in the far off homeland with its cooling streams and aha led groves. Everything that watchful care and skillful nursing could do lo make a patient corufortablc was done for him. Time wore on the fever burned more fiercely the de'irium in creased. One oii:bt there entered tbe r I a quiet sweet faced woman, with slightly silvered hair. Silently the hur ried to the bedside and laid her band upon the fevered brow. Immediately the restless head lay still. A smile began to play about the emaciated features of the unconscious man. The dry and parohed lips parted and murmured almost inaudibly tbe word "mother." The eyes opened wide the delirura vanished the fever left and happiness and peace came to tbe worn and wasted body. Ab, my friends; the magic touoh of a mother's hand upon a fevered brow. One who has not felt it has been denied one of the sweotest experiences in life. For in that quiet touch are concentrated a sympathy, t tenderness, a confidence, a love, fonnd nowhere else in this wide world. Other hands may soothe, but none can be the same. Jesus Christ exalted womanhood by exalting mother hood. Chiistian womanhood is the salt which preserves all woman hood and the human race at larce Christian womanhood is the womanhood whioh will remain when all the modern cults and movements which would estrange woman from Christ and his religion have long since died away Sorry is the lot of any weman who lets go of the hand of II im who is her truest friend. However strong and self-reliant she may seem in her boasted independence, without Christ she will gradually sink to the lower levels of a weakened and in ferior womanhood which obtain in all countries and in all ages which know not Christ. This is tbe epiphany of Christ. The season when we dwell upon tbe manifcs tation of Christ to the world. Nowhere has the manifestation been more glori. ously shown lortn than in exalted wo manhood. May the atar which guided the eastern sages lo tbo manner of th King of Kings continue to be the guid ing star of woman. Arise, shine, for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon theo.

Sick Headache When your head aches, there is a storm in the nervous sys tem, centcrintr in the brain. This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stom ach causes nausea, vomiting.
